11:20pm.

I looked up to the sky as the cool breeze blew my veil making the strands of my hair to trailed across my face. The stars were shinning and the moon was a little bright. Masha Allah! I inhaled and hugged my legs.

I was bored and I couldn't sleep thats why i decided to come out and sit in the small hut to get some fresh air.

My ears picked up a sound, foot steps. I rose on my feet trying to figure out where the sound was coming from

I was very sure Mama, baba and the gateman were asleep. The maids were probably asleep too

Who could that be?

Omg! A thief or...... Oh god!

The sound was coming closer and closer and closer

I quickly re-adjusted my veil then moved towards the main door trembling in horror. I couldn't even see clearly because of the darkness.

Ya Allah help me! Protect me!

I looked back before i turned and bumped into something making me fall on the floor.

Innalillahi wa innailaihiraji'un!

I saw a pair of shoe. I wanted to shout but I couldn't even find my voice, i was really  terrified.

I looked up to see a tall man his hands in his pocket but I couldn't see his face clearly.

I gulped.

I watched in horror as he bent down, i was just about to shout when his cold hand covered my mouth. I closed my eyes tightly

This is the end. I will never get to see mama, baba, ya husna and ameela again. La haula wala quwwata illa billah

"Please don't kill me, what do you want?, please please don't kill me dan Allah" i was now in tears, my mouth still covered with his hand.

"Hey its me" i heard the man said

Wait! I know that voice

I slowly opened an eye. What the hell?

Al amin!.
By Allah, I've totally forgotten about him.

I angrily slapped his hand away from my mouth and stood up "What the hell? You scared the shit out of me" I almost shouted

He stood up too, chuckling. I placed a hand on my bosom trying to compose myself.

Wallahil azim I hate him!

"What are you doing here outside? It's already midnight" he spoke his eyes never leaving my face, "Thats none of your business" i snapped as i wiped the tears that stained my cheeks with the back of my hand, he smirked.

Jerk!

"Were you crying?" He spoke again, "How could you stupidly walk up just like that I thought it was a thief" i said, my hands turning into fists, "Well, You're the crazy one here, if i was a thief I wouldn't come to you i'll just enter the house and take whatever i want and go" he responded

How dare he? How could he? He called me crazy after scaring the shit out of me

"Did you just call me crazy?" I gritted my teeth in exasperation, he shrugged "Yeah coz you're"

I opened my mouth to verbalize words, but nothing came out. So, i swallowed the lump that formed in my throat and spun almost banging the big wooden door.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

I groaned as mom opened the curtains of my room, "please mama" i winced "let me sleep"

"It's already 11:20am is that how you're going to do when you got married? You better start learning waking up by 9 or 10" she spoke pulling my cover, "Mama danAllah let me sleep  I'm not getting married anytime soon"

"You should come downstairs and have your breakfast or else.." she scolded moving to the door "And Al amin will be leaving now"

Oh Alhamdulillah!. I was still mad at him for what he did last night

"Rukayya get up" she warned before walking out of the room.

I sighed and moved to the loo to take a quick shower.

I came out after 30mins and quickly dressed up in a mint green armless gown and a black kimono at the top then covered my head with a black veil.

I found Baba sitting in the parlor," ina kwana baba?" I greeted, "Lafia lau i hope you slept well?" He replied with a smile, "Well, thanks to mama, let me go and have my breakfast I'm starving"

Baba gave me a nod and I walked up to the dining area

As i was about to finish my meal i saw al amin entering the parlor baba was sitting, i could see them from where i was sitting.

I noiselessly proceeded with my meal. I walked up to the parlor with "Salamu alaikum" after i was done, they both answered with "wa alaikumussalam", i sat on the couch next to baba, my eyes fixed on the tv as they converse

Some minutes later mama entered the parlor and handed al amin a paper bag "Don't forget to give this to yasmeen" she smiled, he rose on his feet a smile plastered on his lips "I will in sha Allah, i guess i better get going" he looked at his wrist watch "its already 12"

We all stood up and walk outside. "Drive safely" Mama warned, "In sha Allah mama i will" he assured, "You should drive safely please no rough driving, call me right away when you arrive" baba said and proposed his hand on al amin's shoulder, who gave a nod as a replay.

Mama shot me a glare which I immediately understood what she meant.

'Safe trip and never come back again'  Thats what i wanted to say to him but instead I plastered a fake smile on my lips and simply said "bye". He nodded and hopped into the car, we bid each other goodbye and he drove away.

All praise be to Allah! He was now gone! Phew

I lazily lay on my bed after praying dhur salat, my phone started ringing. I picked the phone that was laying on the bed next to me and instantly my eyes grew bigger

Ya rabbi! Abdulazeez.

I guled and dialed 'answer'.

"Salamu alaikum" i greeted nervously, "Alaikumussalam how are you doing?" his sexy voice approached my ear.

Ya Allah!

"I'm good Alhamdulillah, what about you?" I almost stuttered, "Masha Allah its good to hear that, I'm also good" he answered, I replied with "Masha Allah", and after a moment of flustering quietude he finally spoke "Umm... Have you decided yet? I'm still waiting you know, for my answer" he paused "i hope its a yes"

Oh em gieeeee! What should i say? What should i say? I wish ameela was here. Oh god!

"Sorry what?" I pretended that I didn't hear what he said.

I mentally face palmed myself. How stupid!

"I said have you decided yet?" He spoke more louder, I remained hushed I couldn't verbalize a word, he chuckled softly after some minutes "I will take that as a yes then", i was sure my cheeks were now flushed, "Wow! You're now my princess" he spoke again, i could here him whispering 'Alhamdulillah'

Awwwwwn!

"Please speak to me"

"Urmmm... Wh.. Wh.. I don't know what to say" i stammered, I'm such an idiot! A big one!, "I learnt that you guys graduated, have you gotten your admission yet?"

"Yes" i simply said

"Which school?" He questioned

"Northwest Kano" i answered, "ohh" he paused "i wish you good luck my princess"

Omg!! Cuteeeee!

"Thank you" i said in a low voice, almost inaudible, he continued to ask me questions, my hubbies, what i like and dislike, my favorite dish... And whatnot, I learned that he was currently doing his maters in states he came back to Nigeria for holiday. He also told me he has one elder brother which is called sudais and three younger ones farida and faida which are twins then khalifah, i also learned that he likes sports, noodles and plantain, etc etc.

I looked at the little clock that was standing on my side bed, it was asr time! Wow we talked for so long! 3 good hours but to me it felt like just an hour, his voice...

"Its already 4, you should go and pray, i will head to the masijd now" he spoke snapping me out of my trance, "Uh yeah sure" i said briefly

"I'll call you later i promise, love you" he said before he hung up the phone, those words!!!!!!! Could someone just pinch me to know that I wasn't dreaming

I am totally in love with that guy.....
